Hi Chet,
I replaced my door handles with power door lock solenoids from the '77
Pontiac I stripped. I got some springs to wind around the shaft so they
would return to the "up" position. They seem to work fine with the
bear-claw latches I put in. I just bolted the solenoids to the inside
doorskins, then ran a welding rod up to the latch. I used heavy duty
marine push button switches to pop the doors. If you need detailed info,
I'll see what I can come up with.
